Ethylparaben(CAS: 9001-05-2)

Ethylparaben is a common paraben preservative with the chemical formula C7H8O3. It is a white crystalline solid with a faint aromatic odor. Ethylparaben is widely used as a preservative in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products due to its effectiveness in inhibiting microbial growth.

Ethylparaben is primarily used as a preservative in various products. In pharmaceuticals, it extends the shelf life of medications. In cosmetics, it prevents the growth of bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. It is also used in the food industry to preserve the freshness and quality of food products.

Ethylparaben is considered safe for use in low concentrations. However, it is important to handle it with care. Exposure through skin contact or ingestion can lead to mild irritation. It is not classified as a carcinogen, but its safety profile should be monitored. Follow standard safety guidelines and avoid contact with eyes and skin.

Ethylparaben should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep it in a tightly sealed container to prevent contamination. The optimal storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Avoid exposure to moisture and maintain a relative humidity below 60%. Proper storage ensures its stability and effectiveness.
